We are working specially in Uruguay at UVVU-SVU, giving lectures (including several foreign specialists), courses, public activities and activism, etc.

Marly Winckler, our Regional Coordinator, recently had the chance of take contact with our work, and we are in contact constantly with Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, etc, to grow the UVLA . We are going to attend First Latin American- Brazilian Congress, next August in Sao Paulo. All this has no antecedents in our region.

Plans for the next period comprise, among others, a new magazine, maintain constant interchange between Latin America and the rest of the world societies , and growing even more the first vegetarian library and video library, in Argentina and Uruguay, and we just begun to study and organize data about vegetarianism history (worldwide, but specially in Latin America), copying and classifying data and magazines from 1904 and early 20th Century (we found an important archive at Theosophical Society in Montevideo, Uruguay).
